There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.
Having gotten that out of that way - I decided to quit wasting my time several years trying to educate the un-educatable like you who are SO certain that they know everything that they are unwilling to even entertain ideas that might upset their comfortable little lives. Enjoy yours for as long as you can.
There is an intentional effort by "foreign and domestic enemies of the Constitution" to destroy America and our Bill of Rights. This has been going on for decades, and is obvious to anyone who follows the news.
Some call it the "New World Order". I tend to use the term "tyrannical vampires", or something along those lines. Regardless of the name of the enemy, they are for real, and their goals are very clear.
They seek to take our guns, our property and our Rights. They want to turn us all into slaves, just like the communists did with millions.
Criticize her effort to sytematize the problem, if you will, but don't just scoff at her facts, because you think she has exaggerated the foe's success. In point of fact, she is dealing with an Educationalist mindset that goes back many decades. (See Myths & Myth Makers In American "Higher" Education.)
Now if you want to discuss the specific mindset in the NEA and what can be done about it, that opens up many subjects.

One of the groups often mentioned in the discussion of the NWO is the Council on Foreign Relations. They do have influence. In fact, you can thank them for our brand new Homeland Security Agency. They actually came up with it over two years ago - before W. was in the White House and long before September 11. It is their plan that the current administration has and continues to implement. As far as a conspiracy goes, there isn't one. They did it all out in the open. Check it out. for yourself.
Because most of the NWO agenda has already been achieved.
The Left can barely organize a protest, let alone effectively run a country or an economy. Do you REALLY think they are capable of a global conspiracy? THINK. Use your brain. Reason. Be rational.
Yes, by all means, do think. And study the issue, too. No, the maggot-infested long-haired hippie radicals can't run a country or an economy. But socialists of the Rockefeller type certainly can, and do -- and have.
Only paranoid schizo fundie freaks believe in nutty crap like the New World Order. I guess, if your live is empty and pathetic it probably makes things seem more interesting.
The truth is out there. Perhaps some day you may stumble upon it.

Apparently you don't remember international ANSWER's anti war protests on three continents, particularly in Europe. Find me a conservative group that can do that.
The left organizes stories in the media very efficiently.
